Never pop VIT C pills as candy!Too much vit. C may cause kidney stones. When researchers at Washington State

University gave 2,000 mg of C, more than 22 times the daily recommendation of 90 mg to 48 people for six days,40% of the participants experienced a ten percent increase in their levels of urinary oxalate, a building block of kidney stones. Instead of taking megadoses of supplements,get it from food.Good source are fresh fruits and vegetables as well.A glass of orange juice and a bowl of good cereal contain about 200 mg.So why pop lots of C when you can get it from food! But if you want more protection, just limit your daily intake to 500 mg.
